I was anticipating something centered around a character named Shelby Oaks, but what unfolded felt like an uninspired combination of "Blair Witch," "The Omen," and the kind of low-budget horror you'd expect from Blumhouse – and it simply doesn’t work well. The film begins with a sensationalized, mock documentary style, informing us that four members of a popular American paranormal investigation YouTube channel have disappeared in the woods surrounding the deserted town of Shelby Oaks. Their remains are eventually found, though “Riley” (Sarah Durn) is not among them, and her sister “Mia” (Camille Sullivan) resolves to uncover what happened. Some time passes, and an unknown man shows up at her residence with a camera tape. Could this provide the answers she needs to venture into those unsettling woods and solve the mystery? There's one particular scene that encapsulates the film’s shortcomings: after a disturbing incident on her doorstep, she sits bloodied on her sofa, and when her husband joins her, he asks, “Are you OK?” She nods, and he casually walks off to the kitchen to crack open a beer. This illustrates the complete absence of depth in character development as this lackluster movie struggles to gain traction for a tedious ninety minutes. What we get is more of a tribute to countless other films within the horror genre than anything genuinely new. The performances are as poor as the writing, and the conclusion lacks any real suspense, resembling some of the more threatening moments featuring “Ursula” in Disney’s "Little Mermaid" (1989). I experienced this film alone in a movie theater, which explains a lot. Maybe the horror genre needs to prioritize stronger narratives and better actors instead of just relying on unsettling sound effects and creaking trees to draw audiences in. It's not worth your time, honestly.
